Shropshire Tax Payers ♥ Skips – It’s Official!
Plans to remove four manned amenity skips have been met with anger from council tax payers after South Shropshire District Council revealed that they were becoming a budget concern. Removal plans have stalled however due to the amount of complaints received by worried locals.
The skips, located in Bishop’s Castle, Church Stretton, Cleobury Mortimer and Craven Arms, were initially due to removed for good on 1st October in the effort to save £85,000. But now waste disposal firm, Biffa, has told the council that the savings can only be achieved if yet another site at Coder Road, Ludlow is also shut.
SSDC’s director, Bill Jones, says that the council is still receiving numerous complaints about the closing of the skips and that plans for the council to meet and discuss the issue have been scrapped to fully consider the suggestions being put forward to them.
Mr. Jones reassures all council members that the current level of service will be maintained at least until the end of March next year and that the council are left in no doubt as to the strength of public feeling about the skips.
